SAULT STE. MARIE — This was the Sault High hockey team we saw at the beginning of the season: dominant, controlling the puck, not allowing the opponent a chance to get in the game.

And with no injuries.

Playing with a full lineup for the first time since winning the MacInnes Holiday Classic in Houghton in late December, the Blue Devils snapped a three-game losing streak with a 4-0 win over Traverse City West. The Devils (17-7-0) were playing their first game in nearly two weeks and used the time to get all their injured players back.

"It felt good to practice with our regular group of guys this week," Blue Devils coah John Ferroni said. "All the guys get energy when we have a full lineup. They just have to do what they're supposed to do instead of saying 'so-and-so's out of the lineup, so I have to do more.' Anytime in sports when you try to do more, you know how that is."

Blake Mastaw scored 55 seconds into the game and fed Will Gauthier for a shorthanded goal on a 2-on-1 in the first period to give the Blue Devils a 2-0 lead at the end of the first intermission.

Justin DeLisle scored goals in the second and third periods to complete the scoring. Chris Hazen assisted on both DeLisle's goals.

"Justin came into this season not knowing if he was going to make the team or not," Ferroni said. "We talked about him playing defense, he's tough, he's fast and he can shoot. And he said that's what he wanted to do. It's worked out well for him and worked out even better for me,."

Brad Padgett stopped three shots in the first period to get the win. Nick McKenzie came in for the rest of the game and had 14 saves. Carter Edmundson stopped 38 shots for the Titans (9-13-3).

The Blue Devils dealt with injuries to a number of players, including Ben Formolo, Ryan Dalsky and CJ Wilkins, and suspensions throughout January and struggled this month to get back on their early-season roll. Ahead of next week's regionals at Cheboygan and Gaylord, they have one more big test — tonight at Division 2 No. 3 Traverse City West — to see if they're back in full swing.

"We just want to play a good hockey game," Ferroni said. "Win, lose, or draw, we just want to play well. If we play our game and stay out of the penalty box, we're going to be a tough team to beat."
